Saucer Country: The TV Option!

I’m delighted to announce that my comics series with artist Ryan Kelly Saucer Country, about a US Presidential candidate who’s abducted by aliens, has been optioned as a TV series! You can read the announcement with all the details here at Deadline. Much more on this over the coming months, of course.

Quotes by Paul Cornell (?)

“He's like fire and ice and rage. He's like the night, and the storm in the heart of the sun. He's ancient and forever. He burns at the center of time and he can see the turn of the universe. And... he's wonderful. - Tim Latimer”

“John Smith: Mankind doesn't need warfare and bloodshed to prove itself. Everyday life can provide honour and valour. Let's hope that from now on this country can find its heroes in smaller places. In the most ordinary of deeds.”
